I think we should not go down this route again. We have been there and saw it 
was bad. In the end it means turning the primary windowing system  we target 
(X11 and Wayland) optional. We don't have the resources to ensure that such 
combinations build, less even work. But at the same time it would increase 
development cost for everybody as we run into weird issues with compile 
failures, weird runtime bugs due to thinks which should be compiled with X11 
not having X11, etc.

I agree with what Aleix wrote: if a framework needs a KCM to be useable it 
needs to be in the framework.

Cheers
